The major annoyance with that is that you have to explain to your parents/friends how to do that when you give them access otherwise they won’t find your stuff in the ocean of media plex is trying to push at them.

You also have to now trust that they have a secure password and don’t share/get them compromised.

I picked Emby for many reasons and one being local accounts I control. Plex pushing you to use their accounts (and then pushing streaming content like this) just wasn’t an option.

I’m not sure I understand. With Emby you still have to trust that they have a secure password and don’t share/get them compromised.
You can pick the password and not let it be changed.

Also plex suffered a hack that compromised online account user logins.
